1928 Austin Chummy

 
And it was as small as it looks - a veritable car for midgets...  It was better known as the Austin 7 and produced from 1922-1939; an astonishing 290,000 units were made. It had a 4 cylinder 747 cc engine producing 10.5 bhp, a 6'3" (1.9 metre) wheelbase and a 40" (1 metre) track.  Top speed was stated as 48 mph (77 km/h)  (yeah right, freewheeling downhill with a tail wind!)
